Sometimes life takes us to places we don’t want to go. When we’re struggling we may question how we ended up here. How did we get to this place that doesn’t fit or move us forward? We can’t read the future and it’s not always easy to see where a path will take us. It takes time to consider all possible eventualities but if we don’t rush and think carefully before choosing we’ll have a better chance of ending up where we want to go. Odds are no matter where we are it’s exactly where we were headed. Every road has a destination and will take us there every time. But it’s not the end of the journey. If we’re unhappy we can move on to someplace that feels better and fits us more perfectly. We’re always in control of our lives and can go anywhere we want but we have to decide where that is and then do what is necessary to get there. We can design our lives any way we like but we must take control. A ship at sea without a rudder and someone turning the wheel to direct it forward will simply flow wherever the water takes it. Our lives are the same way. If we don’t control our decisions and choose our paths, life will choose them for us. We can decide what we want and then steer our ship in the direction we want to go. There isn’t anything we can’t do and every destination is available but we must take control and move forward toward success. It’s all up to us. The world will do what it will and we can follow along but taking charge of what we’re doing will bring us satisfaction and fulfillment. We know what we want. With persistence and determination we can achieve anything and reach any shore we desire.
There are always all kinds of unknown variables that may come into play in every decision we make. Because we never know what’s around the next corner or who will enter the picture, learning to be flexible is an asset that will help us succeed. There are many ways to accomplish any task. We can keep our eyes focused forward, make changes as needed, and get to the goal. We have everything we need to reach any destination. We can bend when we need to and find our way.
Some people are very self-directed and forceful. They place great value on their ideas and may be very convincing. We can follow anyone at any time and simply go wherever they’re headed. It’s easy to acquiesce and do what we’re told but nobody knows us better than we know ourselves. What’s best for one doesn’t mean it’s best for all. Our personal choices are valuable and worthwhile and we can have any kind of life we choose. We can take our own roads and reach the places we want the most. Our lives belong to us and we can make our dreams come true.
Today if you’ve been letting others steer your ship and just following along, remember how valuable you are. You can do anything you want. Decide where you want to go and step forward. Be confident and trust yourself. You have everything you need to prevail and nothing is out of reach. All your dreams are possible and with determination you will make them come true.
